Don"t Let Them Get Away With it - Learn Self Defense
It can also reduce the probability of being confronted or attacked.
We live in a world where anti social behavior and street crime is on the increase.
Many ordinary citizens would not feel safe at night out on the streets of the towns and cities, in which they live.
When night falls the streets belong to the muggers, rapists, drunks and junkies that see anyone on their own as easy prey.
At least that's what it seems like to many people.
The truth is it is the fear of being attacked that frightens us most.
Fear can stop you from being happy, turn you into a nervous wreck and transform you into a recluse, a prisoner in your own home.
But why should you have to live your life in fear? Why not do something about it? Learn how to fight back now.
Anyone, at any age can learn the art of self defense.
It's a fun way to get fit and stay fit, it can help increase your self confidence and it might one day save your life.
Generally, there are two approaches to self defense.
The mental approach and the physical approach.
The mental approach involves gaining an understanding of predatory situations like how they can happen, how they can be anticipated and recognized, how they can be avoided and how best to respond if you encounter one.
It's about getting an edge over your potential attacker by using your intellect to get out of a threatening situation.
And it's about staying calm and thinking straight while under duress.
The physical approach is more obvious.
It's about learning techniques that can disable your attacker and demonstrating to them that you are able to repel their physical assault.
Combined, these two approaches have the potential to make you someone that an attacker would regret meeting.
Most self defense techniques can be learned from instruction classes where the instructors are professionally qualified in both the martial arts and the training methods.
However, it is now possible to learn these potentially life saving techniques from simply watching training and instructional videos in your own home.
There are videos covering all the main martial arts but all that is required for general self defense is learning the moves and the aspects concerning control.
If you cannot control a situation verbally then the physical aspect is what you will need to apply.
Just knowing where to strike an opponent is sometimes enough to save you or at least give you precious time to escape.
